I took the postgraduate entrance examination for 20 years, and 19 graduated from two economic majors in Shandong. After graduation, I formally prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. Although I only prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation, I still have a one-stop job. The formal review time is about 6 months. Here is the admission notice and postgraduate certificate.

Postgraduate certificate

The total score of the initial test is 348, politics is 8 1, English is 65, and specialized course is 202? , as shown in the figure below.

Preliminary examination results of postgraduate entrance examination

Everyone's success is unrepeatable. I think the ability to collect information, adjust mentality and review strategy formulation and adjustment gained in the preparation experience is more important. So I will talk about it from the following three aspects: choosing schools and majors, reviewing experience and suggestions for political English, and reviewing experience and suggestions for specialized courses. You will find that these three abilities will always be interspersed. I hope the following answers can give you some help.

First, choose a school and a major.

1.？ Cross-disciplinary reasons and courses

Everyone has different reasons for crossing majors, some for a degree, some for future work, and some for their own academic pursuit. As far as cross-examination pedagogy is concerned, some people can't take the math test, some people want to be teachers in the future, and some people want to stay in university to study for a doctorate and realize their academic dreams. After several remedial classes, I deeply feel that education is of great significance to each of us. It is the beginning of this idealization that opens the door to learning pedagogy.

During my internship and thesis writing in my senior year and the next semester, I read books and related courses on the history of education in China and foreign countries, which strengthened my thoughts on cross-examination pedagogy. So, I found a study room for preparing for the exam in advance after graduation in the next semester of my senior year, and moved there directly after graduation at the end of June, which opened the road of formal preparation for the exam for almost half a year, and gradually determined the specific institutions and majors during the preparation.

2.？ Experience and suggestions on choosing schools and majors

(1) Determine the area and the type of school you want to go to.

Whether you stay in a city in the future or experience a city's human and natural environment, as long as it is what you want, write it down first and then rule it out in turn. A native of Shandong, who has lived in the north for a long time, wants to stay in a southern city not too far away for a few years, so he temporarily settled in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. )

As far as pedagogy is concerned, the types of schools are nothing more than normal classes and comprehensive classes. At the same time, we should also consider whether we have a double-class and 2 1 1 985 complex at the school level (this is a very realistic problem, and it will definitely be more beneficial to go to a famous school to find a job in the future, but it also means greater efforts to go ashore); A few weeks before I signed up, I comprehensively considered my review and whether I could accept the results of World War II caused by choosing a prestigious school. Finally, I chose Shanghai Normal University (just my opinion doesn't mean that the school is not good, but I weigh it, and I am most sure that I will be admitted to this school as long as I work hard). Life is always in the process of learning, so we must understand what we want.

In addition, there are professional masters and academic masters in education. Most universities take the unified exam of 3 1 1, so you need to determine whether the exam in your intended school enrollment outline is 3 1 1 or an independent proposition, which determines the review direction in the later period.

(2) Pay attention to and collect information from relevant institutions.

Get official information: official websites of R & D.com and major interested schools. After determining the approximate schools, we should first understand the general information of each school, the scores of postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination over the years, the number of students enrolled, the admission ratio, and the school (preference for one volunteer or adjustment? ) and tutor preference (this is very important for the second interview. If you see a tutor with his favorite research direction, you should be decent and contact the teacher in time.

Take Shanghai Normal University as an example. Every year, official website, a graduate student, announces the re-examination scores, the number of students admitted and the proportion. Among them, official website, the Institute of Education, will have an annual admission announcement and a catalogue of courses of various majors (you can also know what courses are offered by various majors in advance to facilitate the later selection of majors). In addition to obtaining information from the school official website, the official WeChat account of the school and Zhao Yan. Com can get more official information. Official website is: Web link, official website can click on the latest notice to check the postgraduate enrollment catalogue, retest scores and other information.

Notice of enrollment, admission, retest, etc.

Volunteer to enter the retest score line in 2022.

Scores of all majors in the College of Education

Get more information: You can get relevant preparation experience from WeChat official account, preparation Q group, examination and research group, etc. You can ask the relevant seniors for information outside official website (because seniors and seniors are usually busy ~).

All subjects can be divided into three stages: foundation, reinforcement and sprint. Take my six-month preparation experience as an example to share my experience and suggestions. Taking the examination subjects and their corresponding time as an example, it is suggested that the daily review should be arranged according to the examination time, such as arranging more professional courses and political studies in the morning, arranging English studies in the afternoon, and checking for missing items in the evening.

8: 30 am on February 24, 2022-11:30? Politics; 14: 00-17: 00 English afternoon

8: 30 am on February 25th, 2022-11:30? 3 1 1 specialized courses

Second, political English review experience and suggestions

politics

Politics is a subject with high cost performance. As long as you lay a good foundation, multiple-choice questions will be half the battle. Then it is the stage of brushing questions and summarizing wrong questions; Finally, the stage of sprinting to do the questions and reciting the objective questions.

The basic stage is 2-3 months: about 2 hours a day.

I am a teacher in Xu Tao, so the basic textbook uses the corresponding core test cases. Teacher Xu Tao and the official WeChat account can pay attention to it, and you can see the questions sent by the teacher and their analysis at dinner time every day. The interaction between teachers and classmates will be more colorful in the boring preparation;

Generally speaking, if you are tired of studying professional courses in the morning, you should listen to the basic courses of the teacher 1-2 at double speed. Xu Tao's lecture will be more interesting. After lunch, I framed the contents of the morning in the afternoon.

Teacher Xu Tao's Core Exam Case

Intensive period: 2-3 months: about 2 hours a day.

Having laid a good foundation will be enough to strengthen my solid summary of doing the questions, so I won't waste time in class, because the preparation time is really a bit tight. Usually, I spend about an hour every morning doing (step by step) Xiao Xiurong's 1000 multiple-choice questions, and spend about an hour in the afternoon fully understanding and sorting out each wrong question, and reviewing the previous wrong questions before doing the questions every day; At the same time, combined with Xu Tao sprint to recite notes, review the knowledge points as a whole.

Strengthen 1000 questions

Sprint stage 1 month:

Small 8 and Xiao 4 can make reservations in case they forget.

Usually, each set of questions is a multiple-choice question based on the time of the real exam. I usually write an outline of the big questions and then revise them according to the reference answers. In the last month, I basically recited the wrong questions and big questions until the test center opened a few minutes before the exam. Don't forget, listening to the course of current affairs and politics will involve the first multiple-choice question.

Xiao 4 small 8

In short, spend the least time and maximize the review of politics. There is also the need to find suitable teachers and learning methods. My method may not be suitable for the public. The information used before is as follows. I've heard friends say that I'm a teacher like Sister Leg before, so it's hard to comment if I haven't heard of it. I suggest you find some interested teachers to audition. You can always follow your favorite style, as long as you decide which teacher is the best choice.

2.？ English

Because the English foundation is average, I have been following the exam-bug-(more suitable for students with weak foundation, I speak very carefully). Other students who have listened to Tang Chi's reading class are more suitable for students who have some basic knowledge. They pay more attention to combing the ideas of the article and explaining the methods of solving problems. The video is also relatively short, so you can brush the video if you can't learn it in the future. I've also seen Tang Jing's videos on grammar and translation, and I speak them well. You can listen to what suits you first, and then follow suit.

Basic and strengthening phase 4 months:

Because of the weak foundation, most of the basic and intensive stages are preview-lecture-note-review. Let's discuss each module separately

Vocabulary: I use root affixes to remember words. In fact, I bought a little red book of English vocabulary at first, but because there were too many, I couldn't stick to it, so I listened to the vocabulary class directly. But I promise to take notes carefully in every class, which will be a tool for memorizing words in the future. I also want to use these words to sort out the words I learned in daily reading, gestalt, translation and new questions every afternoon (I usually do it in the afternoon), but now their vocabulary book in official website is OK. You can refer to the pictures and choose for yourself.

Vocabulary book cover

Reading, cloze, new questions, translation: follow the process of doing problems-attending lectures-taking notes (vocabulary, grammar, problem-solving skills)-reviewing, and study with the course every afternoon. The most important thing is to reorganize immediately on the same day, which is helpful for deep memory, because 3 1 1 has a lot to remember, so it is impossible to give English too much time, so don't remember it that day. You can listen to Teacher Tang Jing here. The teacher has a book about split and combined translation. Students who have time can practice a long and difficult sentence every day by combining the methods explained in the book.

Contents of the book

Composition: I mainly attend classes and take notes. At that time, Shi Leipeng and I were a teacher. He was an interesting teacher, but he was also divided into people. If you can't accept this kind of class that seems a little playful but can help strengthen your memory, you can take a detour, but I still suggest listening first. You might like the composition class! So my composition part will not be boring, but it will be easier to learn (some notes are shown below), but you must write it yourself, recite it yourself, recite it yourself!

One of the arranged works

Third, review experience and suggestions for specialized courses.

I came to the most important professional class, because my school was 3 1 1, so I followed teacher Xu Ying directly. Although I finished reading "Bibliography and Basic Courses of Chinese and Foreign Educational History" intermittently in the next semester of my senior year, I didn't officially contact pedagogy until the end of June, and the foundation in the early stage was still very weak.

Textbooks: China's educational history, foreign educational history, educational principles, educational research methods and educational psychology. If you have time to cross the exam, you'd better buy a textbook and read it from beginning to end, then listen to the class. The specific textbook names are as follows.

Review teaching materials

2. Reference books: pedagogy postgraduate examination questions set, examination question bank, and compilation of real questions.

3. Review process

The basic stage is 3 months: reading textbooks and reference books (exam-oriented masterpieces)-attending classes-sorting out notes-doing exam questions.

At this time, the notes must form their own logical system and framework. My reinforcement and sprint recitation depend entirely on my own notes. If it involves particularly detailed knowledge points, I will look back at textbooks and reference books.

The intensive phase lasts for 2 months: attending lectures-supplementing notes-reciting-sorting out real questions every few days.

After the knowledge points of intensive classes are supplemented, I usually recite the knowledge points according to the logical framework and thematic framework every morning and evening. This is actually based on a little bit. I finish the most difficult and painful tasks every morning, and the time in the morning is also in line with the time of 3 1 1 exam. Reciting in the evening is to consolidate and review the content in the morning. Sometimes I will continue to recite new tasks that I haven't finished in a day at night, and I will also recite them before going to bed.

Sprint 1 month:

Because of the poor foundation of the cross-exam, I memorized 3 1 1 in the last month. At this time, Mr. Xu Ying will finally have sprint notes (this year's book is also out, I found 333 from Mr. Xu Ying, but the content format is not much different, so you can refer to it. I also recited it 3-5 times. At this time, my brain collapsed once, because I can't remember many feelings from the first time. I am particularly sad, but don't give up! Just keep reciting, just tell yourself to go all out! Don't think too much! If you are in a bad mood, go for a run, cry and vent, and you must adjust it in time! )

This year (2023) sprint will be a problem.

Also, be sure to do real questions regularly and grasp the time to do them. When doing real questions, you can use the answer sheet to grasp the writing format and font size, as shown in the figure below.

4. Review and introduction of each subject

Principles of pedagogy: The content itself is rather boring. If you can't concentrate on your studies, you can attend classes directly. Because knowledge itself is systematic and logical, it is easy to remember, but the sense of boredom is certain and needs to be overcome. After the whole class, you can form your own mind map (everyone's memory logic is different, not necessarily the same).

History of Education in China and History of Education in Foreign Countries: Although this part is full of complicated knowledge and many people, it is an interesting course, in which you will learn about the educational history and famous educational figures of various countries and deepen your love for pedagogy. After understanding the historical events and contents in chronological order, this part needs to be summarized in the strengthening stage, such as educational methods and educators' thoughts. Teacher Xu Ying's course will have some formulas to help him remember, and he will basically recite them later? The repetitive process of checking and filling in blanks.

Educational Psychology: Students who have never studied psychology before may be a little uncomfortable, because the sentences are a little awkward or the technical terms are a little unfamiliar. In fact, the logical framework of educational psychology is also relatively systematic, mainly memorizing the thoughts of various schools and important figures, and the rest of the knowledge is mostly minor issues.

Educational research and methods: you don't need to spend too much time listening to lectures, taking notes, memorizing basic knowledge points, brushing a few more questions, and understanding the routine of answering questions in exams. You must spend the most time in the first four subjects!

The types and proportions of questions in recent years are as follows (Source: Teacher Xu Ying). You can refer to it and know what is important when reviewing.

last words

As an experienced person, I still want to remind you that if you want to choose pedagogy, you must think about why. If you are sure, please go on firmly until you land. Because, before the exam, I saw countless jobs, all of which I regretted because the job was not easy to find. This is of course a very realistic problem (I need to weigh it myself). You have tried everything before you can determine whether you are suitable or not, whether you like it or not. You don't need to be a graduate student to bring great changes to our lives, but it is undeniable that the school platform brings all-round experiences, such as academics, interpersonal communication, ways and visions of looking at problems, and career choices. Even the school environment and the atmosphere of the city where we live will make us invisible. Pedagogy is a lifelong practice, isn't it? I hope everyone can be admitted to an ideal school and start a new life journey!

Finally, share the opening ceremony.
